Your Most Abnormal Succulent Is...........

18 years ago

Well, mine is a 3 headed aloe ferox. Usually a solitary grower, this one would not divide when repotted. Thought I had three plants. No, just one growing with three heads. This is a juvenile plant, many years from flowering.

That is an interesting plant you got there! I guess mine would be my six-headed pachypodium, of course it is so because someone had originally cut the main stem long ago. But I still like the appearance of it. Kind of like a mini forest...lol!

Those are both interesting plants. I guess I'll keep the multi-headed theme rolling with a ferocactus viridesence. I
inherited this plant from my father-in-law. He planted two in a rock garden, one is now 8-9 inches across. This one was planted up against a large bolder and then a large pot was placed in front of it. It became forgotten and had no where to grow but up. It put out a total of six heads. The ones on top are about 5 inches across and they all flower.
